  Melbourne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Melbourne is the capital and largest city of the state of Victoria, and the second largest city in Australia (after Sydney), with a population of 3.8 million in the Melbourne metropolitan area (June 2004) and 69,670 in the City of Melbourne (which covers only the central city area).
Melbourne has undergone a major urban 'revival', such that it is sometimes classed as being in a second tier of "world cities"; the GaWC study group in the UK ranks Melbourne, on the basis of relative availability of specialised "advanced services" as a "minor world city" comparable to cities such as Montreal, Osaka, and Prague.
Melbourne continued to expand steadily throughout the first half of the 20th century, particularly with the post-World War II influx of immigrants and the prestige of hosting the Olympic Games in 1956.

South should’ve taken the lead in the 41st minute after Coveny was brilliantly released from deep in South’s half; Boutsianis was breaking all alone and unfortunately for the home side Coveny took a moment to long to square for the enigmatic left winger, Brisbane once again adjusted and cleared.
South seemed to be sorely missing the penetration that Young Socceroos Massimo Murdocca and Vince Lia usually provide, it is expected that pair won’t participate in South’s plight - due to their international commitments - for at least the next 8 weeks.
South coach Stuart Munro was not happy with his team's performance, particularly the amount of passes which didn't find their mark as a result of Brisbane's hard work in midfield and solid defence.
